Our Gold Medal Separates the Ordinary from the Extraordinary

Chefs In America began inauspiciously in 1986, when renowned Chefs and Foodservice Directors gathered privately in the basement of New York’s famous La Reserve restaurant to receive our Masters Of Taste Award. Since then, we have evolved into the oldest, third party Culinary Endorsement Program in the country—The American Masters Of Taste Awards (A.M.O.T.).

We promote “Superior Tasting” food and beverages to average consumers as well as a target audience of more than 6,500 Top Corporate Chefs and High-Volume MEGABUYERS. For early 30 years, consumers have relied on the A.M.O.T. Gold Medal Seal to lead them to America’s SUPERIOR TASTING food & beverage products. When retail & grocery buyers see our SUPERIOR TASTE Gold Medal, they are confident that these goods will deliver excellent performance during use. Our exclusive Gold Medal is a valuable tool- the ability to separate SUPERIOR TASTING products from the thousands of other SKUs on shelves.

Marketing & sales professionals from this site, utilize the American Masters of Taste’s SUPERIOR TASTE Gold Medal Endorsement as a weapon that affords their products heightened brand awareness and a unique selling point. Our Gold Medal separates a brand from the thousands of other competitors in their category during this shelf showdown.

Spectrum Naturals Hosts Celebrity Chef Dinner Campaign With Chef Andre David Halston

Spectrum Naturals®, a division of The Hain Celestial Group, has launched a campaign around our Gold Medal Endorsement. The Superior Taste Sweepstakes campaign invites you to enter to win a dinner prepared by celebrity chef Andre David Halston. We worked with Spectrum’s advertising agency to assist in the campaign which plans to showcase Spectrum’s full product line of organic oils and shortening in application in the winner’s own home. This is one of the most innovative uses of our Gold Medal we’ve seen to date and we’re excited for Spectrum’s success.
